Because We Are In Love - The Carpenters
Children it was more fun to be children
We just took life as it happened
Run through the days don't look behind
Over wink of an eye and it's over
What a surprise to discover
We were people ourselves
What kind of people did we want to be
No answer ever came to me
I didn't sleep at all last night
Mom I've come to you like yesterday
About today mom I'm afraid
Hon come and sit by my side
Listen to me words come so hard
But what my heart says I will give you
Because you are in love
Your eyes begin to open
As if you had awaken from a sleep
Because you are in love
You use imagination
And lose your concentration
When someone drops his name
You're back in his arms as always
Your day dreams work out that way
It's all just a trick you mind plays
The more love grows
The more it says the same
(Same little girl who's frightened)
But I love him so
(Same little girl who's sure)
That she loves him so
(Sees with a woman's vision)
(Knows what a woman knows)
Because we are in love
We reach for our tomorrows
And know we won't be lonely
In laughter and in sorrows
Where love abides
There is the place we'll keep our hope forever
You and I because we are in love
Because we won't be lonely
In laughter and in sorrows
When love abides
There is the place we'll keep our home forever
You and I because we are in love
